operate, and maintain applications that can be trusted. All of the
OWASP tools, documents, forums, and chapters are free and open to
anyone interested in improving application security. We advocate
approaching application security as a people, process, and technology

include improvements in all of these areas. We can be found at
www.owasp.org.

delivering a sales pitch
